Todd,
Read the record of the 1st congress. It was focused on nothing but passing amendments, so that the Constitution would hold together. The Anti-Federalists were a group who were very concerned about this new Federal Government. THEY were instrumental in the restrictions placed on the Federal Government by the Constitution.
The only real debate on what is now the 2nd Amendment was whether to include language about conscientious objectors as being able to avoid military service. It was not included.
